How it feels

You guide a pumpkin astronaut through a charming 2D pixel world, exploring biomes, finding upgrades, and gently defending against monsters with a cobweb, with dad providing hints if needed.

What players say

Players call it a cute, short exploration game that plays like a tiny Zelda or Metroid. It takes about an hour to finish, but the single looping music track wears thin. The ending feels anticlimactic to some, but the steady trickle of new tools keeps the exploration satisfying.
